    I would give a negative star rating if there was such a thing. Lousiest airline in the world. Worst than Pakistan International Airlines. Ariana Afghan Airlines is better.

    This was my first and the last flying with FRONTIER! Hidden charges you do not know until you get to the airport and delay after delay back and forth. Boarding is another frustration, you never know what to expect until last minutes. Bad organization from start to the end.

    I have never had a worse airline experience than I did with Frontier. We arrived at the airport over three hours before our flight and were at the gate well before boarding was complete. When they announced last call, we were standing right there. I even said, "Wait, hold on, we're here!" One gate agent acknowledged us, told us not to worry, apologized to the standby passengers, and motioned for us to come forward.

    Then another gate agent stepped in, said, "Nope, they're too late," ignored what had just happened, started typing on her computer, and proceeded to print boarding passes for the standby passengers after flirting with them for the last hour. We were confirmed, paying customers, not standby. Our seats were given away despite the fact that we had already paid for them and had been at the gate for hours.

    To make matters worse, we were sent back to ticketing and told the next available flight wasn't until 3:00 p.m. the following day. Instead of correcting Frontier's mistake, they tried to charge us $690 to get on that flight…even though we had already purchased tickets and had been present at the gate. Customer service was just as bad. Spartus, who identified himself as the “supervisor”, was rude, dismissive, and incredibly condescending. He repeatedly said, "I'm the supervisor," laughed in our faces, and offered absolutely no help or accountability. Adding to the chaos, there were multiple heated confrontations at the gate involving the same gate agent, including one with another passenger who accused her of discriminatory treatment and another dispute with a family. Regardless of those situations, the way we were treated was completely unacceptable and just as discriminatory.

    Frontier took our paid seats, gave them to standby passengers, attempted to charge us hundreds of dollars for a replacement flight, and then treated us with disrespect when we asked for help. I will never fly Frontier again, and I strongly recommend paying a little more to fly with an airline that values its customers and honors the tickets they've already purchased.

    Never again, Frontier Airlines. ✈️. *edited update*. What was supposed to be a fun family trip to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday in Las Vegas turned into the worst travel experience we've ever had. From the very beginning, our flight was delayed over and over again until we had no choice but to book another airline just to make it to Vegas. That unexpected decision cost our family an additional $2,900 out of pocket, and we're still waiting to see if Frontier will refund any of the original flight costs. We also lost an entire day of our vacation. Unfortunately, getting home has been even worse.

    After more delays, we were boarded only to sit on the plane because of a weight issue. We later overheard the pilot explain the aircraft had been overfueled and they were waiting to burn off fuel before departing. Hearing, "Hopefully we can make it to Philly," is not exactly something passengers want to hear before takeoff. The delays caused us to miss our connecting flight, and the next available flight wasn't until the following day. That meant spending nearly 24 hours in the airport, missing a day of work for three family members, missing a dentist appointment that resulted in a cancellation fee because we couldn't give 24-hour notice, and paying an extra $22 in airport parking because our car sat an additional day.

    Customer service was, without question, the most disappointing part of this experience. The Frontier staff at the gate were beyond rude. Passengers simply trying to find out departure times so they could grab food or make plans were met with announcements over the microphone like, "Pay attention. The flight is delayed. No need to keep asking me." Meanwhile, the information was inconsistent—the email showed one departure time, the airport monitors showed another, and the Frontier app still displayed the original schedule. People weren't asking because they weren't paying attention—they were asking because Frontier couldn't provide consistent information.

    We were promised meal vouchers because of the delays. An airport manager told me our family would receive two $75 meal vouchers. Instead, we received a single $50 reimbursement voucher that had to be linked to our bank account, paid out of our own pocket first, and then reimbursed 3–5 business days later. That's hardly a meal voucher for a family of five stranded for over 12 hours. To make matters worse, Frontier even emailed passengers asking for volunteers to take a later flight. Yet when we asked for a refund after already spending thousands because of their delays, we were told refunds weren't an option. Instead, they offered $50 per person in future flight credit. After explaining how much this ordeal had already cost us, we were actually told that the company was losing money too.

    I understand that delays happen. Weather happens. Mechanical issues happen. Those things are part of air travel. What isn't acceptable is the complete lack of communication, accountability, empathy, and customer service. At every step, we were passed from one representative to another without answers or solutions. Our daughter's milestone birthday trip should have been filled with memories of celebrating in Las Vegas—not memories of delays, confusion, rude employees, unexpected expenses, and spending nearly an entire day stranded in an airport. Frontier Airlines, you failed your customers every step of the way. Based on the conversations we had with fellow passengers, it sounded like at least 80% of our flight felt the same way. This was our first experience flying Frontier, and it will absolutely be our last.

    The worst experience of my flights. I booked a round-trip flight from Charlotte to San Francisco for July 31 - August 3. The flights? Frontier flight 3165 (Charlotte to Dallas) delayed for an hour no explanation; Frontier flight 3999 (Dallas to San Francisco) delayed till 9:49, was supposed to depart at 8:59 pm, was CANCELED after some passengers boarded with some FAA restrictions looks like the airline is not compliant with something? And the worst thing is no explanation or support to customers either ask refund (partial for me) or rebook with them with no option of lunch or hotel vouchers for us at around 11 pm. I should be at San Francisco early in the morning and they don’t have any options for me, so I have to book new flight with United Airlines (thank you for saving me) for around $300 for next morning at 6 am and have to spend a night at the airport.

    The return: Frontier flight 4000 (San Francisco to Dallas): can’t check in online on the app (as they suggested) neither their website or the customer support. And they assured me on the airport someone will assist me with it without paying. Guess what they tried to charge me for checking even though they see a notice of fee waiver for it the support put on. But again, the flight delayed.

    Frontier flight 3110 Dallas to Charlotte): flight assistants at the gate where making jokes of us when we ask why they don’t start boarding even when the time pass and the board notice on the screen says door closes 20 minutes before flight. I wonder if Frontier Airlines ever make a flight the way they promised to. I wouldn’t even give one star for this airline; it’s just that there’s no option to continue without giving any.

    The price was fair, considering it is a budget-friendly airline. I didn't mind paying the extra fee for comfort class. I was disappointed to find that there were no electronic charging stations and there were no in-flight movies. It was extremely cold on the plane! But, my main complaint is the unprofessional behavior of the flight attendants. They were rude and had a lackadaisical attitude. They seemed offended when I asked them for a cup of water and when people had to get past them to use the bathroom, they smirked and appeared frustrated. They stood in the way, chit-chatting with each other. I have flown with Delta and I have now flown with Frontier, and I will definitely say that Delta Flight Attendants are far more professional than Frontier.

    This is a completely unprofessional and unreliable airline. Would not recommend them to my worst enemy. We had an early morning flight home after a week in the state of Maine. In the middle of the night while we were sleeping Frontier or decided to cancel the flight with no alternative flights for days. So my wife and I were stranded in Maine with her two young kids at the end of a vacation. We all needed to be back for school and work. We ended up renting a car and driving 14 hours because frontier could provide no other flights for us. Would never ever use this airline again. They were horrible.

    Well, I booked a ticket from Sacramento to Philadelphia. The trip was from Sacramento to Philadelphia with a layover in Las Vegas for 4 hours. My final destination was Philly and when I booked the ticket it included the layover in las Vegas. So I took the first leg of the flight and I was waiting in Las Vegas for 4 hours to take the other flight to Philadelphia. This flight was suppose to depart at 10:00 p.m and the plane arrived....but the flight was cancelled by Frontier... It was 10:00 p.m and as a result, I had to spend money in a hotel for that night and get a ticket the next day to Sacramento since at 10:00 p.m there was not any flight to go back to Sacramento the same night neither I could find another flight in another airline.

    Bottom line: I paid for a hotel $160 for that night and another ticket back to Sacramento $300 and then another flight to Philadelphia for $400. Now, they refunded me just for the second leg of the trip. My trip was $250.58 and I just got refunded for $147.13. The second leg of the trip. My final destination was Philadelphia not Las Vegas... so I think it was unfair that only one portion of the trip was refunded.... It is what it is and as usual the client has no right, the client is second...not important...

    My flight tonight from Orange County, CA to Las Vegas was delayed by about an hour. My connecting flight from Las Vegas to Philadelphia was then delayed by 3 hours before ultimately being cancelled due to "maintenance". The airline refused to refund me for my wasted flight from Orange County, CA to Las Vegas, claiming it was their company policy since I had "already traveled". This is ridiculous. The clerk at the counter was unfriendly. I missed my aunt's funeral as a result of this fiasco. Refusing to provide a refund for the initial flight was adding insult on injury.

    On Monday, July 27th at 6:43 pm, I was informed via text that our flight initially scheduled for 7/27/26 for 8:30 pm was delayed to the following: "We're sorry, Frontier flight 2310 from MCO to BWI is delayed. New departure: July 28, 12:29 AM. Conf. #: **." Immediately following this notification, I received another text at 6:44pm informing me of another delay, as follows: "We're sorry, Frontier flight 2310 from MCO to BWI is delayed. New departure: July 28, 1:21 AM. View options: **. Conf. #: **. Upon receiving the last text, I contacted the Frontier Airlines directly, to request another flight. I did not feel safe traveling in the middle of the night. My new flight was scheduled/confirmed for July 28, 2026 at 6:30am from MCO, which would arrive at BWI airport at 8:54 am.

    I arrived at the airport shortly after 5am. My son and I stood in line, then passengers were instructed by a gentleman to use the kiosks to print our own labels for our bags, prior to bringing our bags to the counter. I checked in for our flight in advance online. I got out of line to print our labels. My son stayed in line. The kiosk was not working properly. I could not scan the boarding passes, as instructed/shown. This option did not work. I had to manually enter my last name and confirmation number. Which the system only allowed me to enter once. My tag printed, for my bag ONLY, despite the fact I paid for 2 check in bags. But since I wasn't able to scan each boarding pass I only received one tag. I got back in line to check our bags. When we finally reached the counter, the young lady at the check in counter tagged and dropped my bag.

    I gave her my son’s bag and explained when I put in the confirmation number and last name only one tag printed. She proceeded to tell me that I would have to go back to the end of the line (again). To have a representative print the label! (Reminder: MY bag was already dropped)! In a haste to get/print a tag I paid an extra fee for a carry-on online, hoping this would speed up the process, since the line was so long to start over to see if we would be allowed to check my son’s bag and proceed to the gate (to no avail). When I tried to print another label, the system told me “it had already been printed”, I tried again and the system replied, “It’s too late!” I went back to the counter and explained this to another representative, who attempted to help but couldn't.

    She sent me right back to the young lady that I had initially encountered twice and told her to help me and print my son's tag. She called up a family of about 6-7 people in front of me and told me that she would help me after she finished with them! I waited. After she finished with them, she entered my flight information and replied to me nonchalantly, “it’s gone!”, (Referring to my flight.) Then shrugs her shoulders..(As if to say “oh well”!) I was livid and appalled by this time. My luggage was gone and my son and I were stranded in MCO airport! I continued to ask for assistance in desperate hopes to find an alternative to get home. The entire staff was extremely rude, passive aggressive and unhelpful. Except for one young lady at the customer service desk. The rep that I encountered initially said she had a headache and clearly did not want to work.

    The employees were congregating with each other as opposed to helping customers and wasted time. Instead of her being apologetic (because she could have easily tagged and dropped my son’s bag simultaneously, (which another representative told me she could’ve simply tagged and dropped our bags at the same time so we could make our flight) she told me I arrived to the airport too late and shifted the blame. I became even more frustrated and more irate! I paid to check in 2 bags, then paid an additional fee for a carryon, I also paid an extra fee to board early and I paid for my son and I to sit together!

    I called the airline which also did not offer any consolation. They told me there was a later flight that night for an additional $700! Considering the money I already spent and returning home from vacation, I did not have another $700 to spare for another flight and fees. Then they informed me that I was titled a “no show”, for the flight we missed as some a penalty. I requested a refund at least for the baggage fees. I was told a rep needed to complete a manifestation document. One of the counter managers agreed to issue this document and told the customer service rep to complete it. She added to the notes that I should be refunded for these fees to no avail. I called the airline back to confirm they received her message. They then stated it was not suggested that I receive a refund in the notes, which was simply a matter of wording. (A minor technicality).

    I’ve spoken to at least 20 customer service representatives via phone and was given different information from each person! The rude/nonchalant female at the check in counter made a note in the system saying I was the one being rude. Did they expect me to be happy after being disregarded and missing my flight because of their negligence and attitudes? I finally found another flight on another airline for a cheaper fare, that would take us to DCA! My son and I sat in the airport for an additional 7 hours for our later flight (a total of 9 hours)! I have anxiety, arthritis and sciatica, therefore this was extremely painful/stressful. Once we finally arrived home, I immediately started calling the airline again to find out how to reunite with my luggage, I was given the run around yet again..

    One person told me that my luggage was still in Florida. Which I knew couldn’t be true because I saw the rep at the counter tag it and drop it on the belt for myself. Another rep told me, I had 3 days to retrieve it. Another rep told me I had 24 hours to pick up. Another rep said, it was going BACK to Florida! Someone else told me it was at BWI. Finally I spoke to someone that said she would email the baggage claim office and ask them to call me (because she didn't know what to tell me)! Which never happened. I checked online with the tracker on Frontier’s website and received a message saying “we have your luggage, please contact a representative!” Every person I called could not tell me where the luggage was or where to go to get it. There is also no direct contact number for baggage claim or lost and found!

    With no other option, I decided to go to BWI airport to look for my luggage. Upon arrival, I asked someone where the baggage claim or lost and found office was located. He informed that no one is usually there and wished me luck before he escorted me to the office. I walked to the office, the lights were out. I pulled on the locked door. Someone came out of a back room, opened the door, sighed and rolled her eyes, she then informed me that she just started her break, as if she was annoyed and I interrupted (this was before 10am)! I pointed out my bag and grabbed it. There were no salutations or niceties. Nor did she ask for proof that the luggage belonged to me. This is very unprofessional and rude! Then I noticed my luggage was damaged, which was the icing on this horrible experience. :-(

    As a result, I have decided to never recommend Frontier Airlines and personally boycott the company. Everyone should be aware of their poor customer service, negligence and predatory fees. The employees over the phone are just as rude, unprofessional and unknowledgeable. No one should have to deal with this type of treatment for services they’ve spent hundreds of dollars on! I have since heard several bad complaints about the company throughout the airport from other passengers! An anonymous employee told me to never fly with them again and admitted they are terrible and that she is looking for a new job! This is unacceptable and embarrassing to say the least!

    In addition to my dismay, the misconception of the low or reasonable fees just to be surprised by extremely expensive hidden fees, uncomfortable seats- further explain the very low overall ratings and complaints about Frontier Airlines. Which is rated 1.4 out of 5 stars according to Google! I tried to give the benefit of the doubt, which I strongly regret! I have never experienced this kind of treatment by business. Their policies, hidden rates, and obnoxious employees throughout the entire organization have sabotaged the business' reputation. There should definitely be an amendment to their policies to accommodate customers that have had these experiences.

    As a result. I am requesting a refund for inconveniences of having to buy another flight, bag fees, early check in fee, damages to luggage, despaired treatment, disrespect and pain and suffering! I would also suggest mandatory customer service, and hospitality training for all employees! There should also be standard protocol and procedures that all employees are aware of. No one should be providing false and differentiating information to customers! I have a colleague that experienced these issues also with Frontier. An isolated incident would be more understandable but to receive the same treatment from several employees in different departments is inexcusable! American Airlines’ staff was very polite and thorough and their seats recline!

    Frontier Airlines is a low cost carrier for those who don’t mind not sitting together with others in their party or getting there on time. My last two experiences included a six hour delay (changing four times over course of time) with 2 gate changes and a full hour wait at the gate for cabin crew, and today it is a three hour delay with a gate change across the airport, requiring a second shuttle ride. I am very disappointed in their lack of care for passenger experience, yet the nitpicking over bag sizes and policies to encourage people to have to rack up extra charges for bags and seat selection. They serve no drink for free except water, and no food at all. The seats on my last flight did not recline at all, for a five hour flight. I brought a sandwich with me but no drink. America deserves much better.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience flying Frontier today. My 14-year-old daughter and I had assigned seats (24A and 25A). When we boarded, her assigned seat was occupied by another family. I calmly asked the flight attendant about it, and instead of politely explaining the situation, he raised his voice in front of other passengers, asked if I had paid for the seat assignment, and when I answered honestly that I had not, he told me, "Then you can't say anything. Sit where I tell you."

    My complaint is not about changing seats. I completely understand that families sometimes need to be seated together. My complaint is about the disrespectful and humiliating way I was treated. When I asked for the flight attendant's name, he refused to provide it. After landing, I went to Frontier Customer Service expecting someone to listen to my complaint. Instead, they refused to help me or direct me to a supervisor. This happened today, July 29, 2026, on Flight F9 67 from Punta Cana (PUJ) to Miami (MIA). No passenger deserves to be treated this way. This experience was humiliating and completely unacceptable. Frontier needs to do a much better job training its employees in basic customer service and respect.

    Horrible experience. Booked flights for a baby shower mid-month, went to check in 23 hours before the flight departs, but couldn't pull up our reservations.

Frontier refused to provide any confirmation of cancellation or record of communication with the bank & that we need to call the bank to discuss this, & that the refund had been issued (it still shows as a completed transaction in statements). The bank had had zero communication with Frontier & that there was no fraudulent activity or blacklist claim made by either party.

    When we called Frontier again, spoke with the same supervisor, their story completely changed & they could not provide a legitimate reason why our reservation was cancelled, just offered a $50 voucher each to offset the cost/inconvenience of what is now a flight $500 more than the cost it was when we originally booked.

    Frontier Airlines has been, without question, the worst airline experience I’ve ever had. Their constant last-minute flight cancellations are completely unacceptable and incredibly disruptive. People book flights because they have places to be, and Frontier seems to have no regard for the time, money, or stress their customers endure when plans are suddenly thrown into chaos.

    They market low fares, but by the time you pay for a carry-on, checked bag, seat selection, and virtually everything else, you’re paying plenty. The least they could do is uphold their end of the bargain by getting passengers to their destinations as scheduled. Instead, you’re left scrambling to find alternate flights, rearrange transportation, miss important events, and lose valuable time. The lack of reliability is enough for me to never book with Frontier again. Saving a few dollars upfront is not worth the headache, uncertainty, and frustration that comes with wondering if your flight will actually take off.

    In my opinion, Frontier should be compensating customers for the unnecessary stress, inconvenience, and expenses caused by these last-minute cancellations. Their current level of service simply doesn’t match what customers deserve. I will never fly Frontier Airlines again, and I would not recommend them to anyone. If reliability matters to you at all, spend your money with an airline that values its customers’ time and can actually deliver the service you paid for. Frontier has completely lost my trust.

    My family of 4 plus 1 small dog came to puerto rico with the dog's shot records and rabies shots confirmed which was all of what jet blue required to travel. The requirements page popped up after we confirmed we wanted pet in cabin. Which it should be informed in this way... very clear. Thank you jet blue. We enjoyed ourselves throughout our stay. Upon our departure at BQN Aguadilla Airport.... Frontier tells my wife that she can not fly. My wife's heart hit the ground and cried. I explained how we came here this way and why we can't fly back. Frontier's response was that the dog needed to have a health certificate. Which was never mentioned when purchased the pet in cabin for our dog. No requirements page popped up after we checked for the pet in cabin. I'm sure they going to say you have to dig in their fine print for the requirements. And the fact that we were allowed to travel with the dog to puerto rico but unable to return made no sense at all.

    One of the other things that infuriated me was the fact that frontier lady at counter actually suggested to leave the dog behind. I looked at her with such disgust and it took every ounce of my strength to keep myself from jumping over that counter to show her how she made my family and I feel. Like she can care less. That lady either never had a pet or is an animal hater or something. ANY PET SHOULD NEVER EVER BE LEFT BEHIND!!! THAT WOULD BE CRUEL TO THE ANIMAL. WHICH IS ILLEGAL!!!!

    Nonetheless.... it broke my heart when my wife looked at me and said that I am going to have to leave her and our dog behind and figure solutions. As much as I would have rather stayed behind with her and we figure it out together.... I had a child that attends school the following week. As so many tears rolled down my face.... I knew I had to accept it and pray for my wife to return home with our dog somehow someway without me by her side. Everyone telling me to calm down or they will arrest me.... yea... like I said.... NO COMPASSION!!!!

    I write this review not only to show frontier how we feel after this fiasco.... but to also inform the public of how the frontier's extraordinary customer service. I feel as they had no compassion for the situation and could have cared less. I feel as my family was torn apart due to their policies and lack of informing us of the health certificate that would be needed. In my opinion... maybe a better way of making sure something like this never happen again is to upload all necessary documents online for approval before purchasing the pet in cabin. I pray that everyone that sees this review helps them to be extra prepared... make extra calls.... ask extra questions.... and have all of your questions answered before flying frontier. If frontier continues to handle their customers like the way they did us.... they will follow spirit's footsteps or worse.

    I need to go get my mom a day earlier than I booked. They wanted 99 change fee plus increase in flight. I said I don’t mind paying the increase in flight but I’m not paying 99 to simply change to one night earlier. That is insane. Gonna stick with Southwest. Better policy. Frontier has lost my business and will probably be the next one to be done like Spirit.

    ⭐☆☆☆☆Don’t book Frontier if you can avoid it. By the time you pay for every little thing, you might as well have booked a better airline where your carry-on is already included. I miss Spirit because, in my experience, the process was much smoother. At the Atlanta airport, the Frontier gate manager stood at the gate watching every passenger’s bag like a bulldog, making sure to charge people for anything that didn’t meet their rules. It honestly felt like customer service wasn’t the priority. The staff came across as rude, unprofessional, and not helpful at all. Instead of trying to assist passengers, the focus seemed to be on collecting more fees. Save yourself the frustration and consider booking an airline that includes your carry-on and offers better customer service.

    So, we received a notification 6 hours before our flight that our departure time had changed by over an hour. We had a new departure time. Naturally, we showed up about 2 hours before our flight. However, no one was available to check our bags. Why you ask? Because they left 60 minutes prior to the original departure time. The original departure time that had been changed 5 hours earlier. 30 of us were standing there 1 hour and 55 minutes before our departure time with no way to check our bags, and due to the size, we could not take them through security. We had to book another last minute flight and pay for bags again.

    Did they make it right? Nope!!! They said we need to have a note from the agent expressing that we could not use our tickets because we could not check our bags. This is the same agent that left over two hours before the updated departure time. While it is their policy for the baggage agents to remain there up until 60 min before the flight, they ignore that policy, and do require that you get a note from that same agent who broke their policy in Leaving early! Be careful flyers! An updated departure time means they can leave whenever they want! We spoke with three other airlines that told us that’s a breach in policy, and “only on Frontier” does that stuff happen.

    I had a very disappointing experience with Frontier Airlines. At the gate, I was charged $99 for my carry-on bag, even though it fit in the overhead bin and could also fit under the seat in front of me. What made this even more frustrating was that nearly every other passenger boarding the flight had a bag that appeared to be the same size as mine, and they were not charged. I was traveling with eight other people, all carrying similar-sized bags, and none of them were asked to pay an additional fee. The inconsistent enforcement of Frontier’s baggage policy made me feel unfairly singled out. If the rules are going to be enforced, they should be applied equally to every passenger—not selectively.

    I’ve flown many airlines over the years, and this was one of the most frustrating customer service experiences I’ve had. I hope Frontier reviews how its baggage policies are enforced so other travelers don’t have the same experience. Based on this experience, I will think twice before flying Frontier again, and the people I traveled with were equally disappointed after witnessing what happened.

    On July 18, 2026, my girlfriend and I were boarding Frontier Flight F9 4144 when a station manager directed us to step aside so my carry-on suitcase could be measured in Frontier’s sizing bin. Initially, the suitcase did not fit because of its wheels. I immediately asked if I could check the bag and pay the applicable checked baggage fee. The station manager refused, stating Frontier would not check the bag. I made multiple requests for this option and was denied each time. To comply with Frontier’s carry-on size requirements and avoid missing my flight, I removed all four wheels from the suitcase. Once the wheels were removed, the suitcase fit completely within Frontier’s sizing device.

    Despite the bag now meeting the required dimensions, the station manager refused to allow it onboard solely because the wheels had been removed, stating she would not permit a “damaged” bag to travel. She also continued to refuse my repeated requests to check the bag, even at my own expense. With boarding nearly complete and no alternative offered, I was forced to leave the gate, purchase a replacement suitcase inside the airport for $311.40, transfer all of our belongings, abandon my original suitcase, and rush back to the gate to avoid missing the flight.

    After boarding, I explained the situation to a Frontier flight attendant named Juan. After hearing what had occurred, he stated that he intended to report the station manager because the situation should not have been handled that way. He also indicated the suitcase could have been checked or accepted once it fit within the required dimensions. As a direct result, I lost my original suitcase, was forced to spend $311.40 on a replacement, and experienced significant stress and embarrassment. I have attached the receipt showing the replacement suitcase was purchased inside the airport immediately before boarding as a direct result of this incident.

    I am requesting reimbursement of the $311.40 replacement suitcase, compensation for my abandoned suitcase, a formal review of the station manager’s conduct, and a written explanation of Frontier’s policy regarding gate-checking carry-on bags. I made every reasonable effort to comply with Frontier’s baggage requirements, yet every alternative I proposed was refused. I respectfully request that Frontier investigate this incident, provide a written explanation of its findings, and reimburse me for the financial losses I incurred.

    This was my first time flying Frontier Airlines, and unfortunately, it left a very negative impression. The most concerning part of my experience wasn't even something that happened directly to me—it was the way I watched another passenger be treated. The passenger had already spoken with a Frontier representative earlier, who explained that the Frontier app was not allowing her to check in and advised her to return later with a screenshot of the error so she would not be charged the airport check-in fee. When she returned, another employee, Nicole, immediately began speaking to her in a loud, disrespectful manner, insisting she was in the wrong line and that she had done something wrong.

    The passenger repeatedly tried to explain that the app was not working and even showed Nicole the error message. Nicole ignored her explanation, took the passenger's phone, and attempted to check her in herself—only to receive the exact same error message. Instead of apologizing, she simply told the passenger to get in the assistance line, which was where she had been all along. Watching someone be spoken to that way, especially when the issue was caused by Frontier's own technology, was disappointing and unnecessary.

    I also experienced problems with Frontier's self-service kiosks. Frontier requires passengers to print their own bag tags to avoid additional fees, but the kiosks were malfunctioning and would only print one bag tag for passengers checking two bags. When your equipment isn't working properly, customers shouldn't be made to feel like they are the problem.

    The one bright spot was the first Frontier representative we encountered. She was kind, patient, and professional, proving that great customer service is possible. Technology issues happen, but how employees respond is what customers remember. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism displayed by Nicole overshadowed the positive interactions we had with other staff. Based on this experience, I will seriously reconsider flying Frontier again. I hope Frontier addresses both the technical issues with its check-in process and the customer service provided at the airport. Respect and professionalism should be the standard for every passenger.

    My experience with Frontier Airlines was extremely disappointing. First, I was overcharged $240 for luggage bundles. Even after contacting customer service, they refused to refund the money. On top of that, it was very difficult to communicate with customer service because I could barely understand the representatives. Our return flight was delayed for six hours, and no one could explain why. We received very little communication or updates during the delay. The worst part happened after we boarded the plane. A flight attendant told my wife that she needed to keep her carry-on bag between her legs to make room for someone else’s belongings. I explained that it was not just a personal purse—it was a carry-on bag that we had paid for. She was clearly unhappy with my response.

    About five minutes later, she came back and again insisted that I take the bag with me. I told her I wasn’t moving it because I had paid for that space. She didn’t believe me and asked to see my boarding pass to verify it. When she realized I was correct, she never apologized. Instead, she remained rude and unprofessional throughout the interaction. I also left feeling that I was treated differently because of my ethnicity. While I can’t know her intentions, the way she spoke to us and handled the situation made me feel singled out and disrespected. Overall, between the overcharges, poor customer service, six-hour delay with no communication, and the disrespectful treatment from the flight attendant, this was one of the worst airline experiences I’ve ever had. I will not be flying Frontier Airlines again, and I cannot recommend them to others.

Luckily we arrived very early. When we finally got front of line the staff was very rude and scolded us for waiting until the last minute to check our bags. LOL! We got to the airport 3 hours before our flight was supposed to depart! On the way home our flight was delayed 5 hours. We got a meal voucher for $60 which was a nice gesture, but I accidentally put my CC in the info and my wife used her card. Even though it’s the same account we have different CC numbers. I said, "Well just call Frontier and they’ll fix it for us." Wrong, they were very rude and said nothing they could do.

    On top of that their plane needed maintenance so we had to sit on the tarmac for an extra hour and they moved my daughter seats after we paid for the assigned seats. We were supposed to land in Cleveland at 10 pm and landed at 5 am, had a 1 hour drive home, and had to work at 8 am. Seat cushions were very uncomfortable.

While checking in online, I accidentally purchased a carry-on bundle. When I arrived at the airport, the check-in counter employee told me I bought the "wrong bundle." Instead of helping me fix it there, they forced me to pay a second time for my luggage at the counter and told me to call customer service to get a refund for the online purchase.

    When I called, customer service completely refused to issue a refund. I was forced to pay twice for a single piece of luggage due to their rigid system and unhelpful staff. To make matters worse, the counter staff asked for my TSA PreCheck number but failed to actually attach it to my boarding pass. I stood in the TSA PreCheck line only to be sent all the way back to the check-in counter to fix their mistake. Frontier has absolutely zero coordination and terrible customer support.

    My experience with this airline was by far the worst. The customer service was awful, the staff looked unprofessional, and the way they suddenly price-gouge you right before boarding was shocking. As people gathered for their boarding group, an agent came out, inspected everyone’s luggage, claimed it was too big, and sent them to the counter. Their luggage measurement bin seemed unusually small, affecting most passengers. At the counter, I was told I had to pay $98 per bag. In all my years of flying, I’ve never had to pay for a carry-on. My two granddaughters and I had the same size bags we’ve always used with other airlines without issue, but apparently, at Frontier, it’s a problem.

    I still can’t believe it happened. Many people couldn’t afford the fee and weren’t allowed to board, with the doors closing as they were told to see customer service. I barely made it on because I hadn’t budgeted for an extra couple hundred dollars. Shame on you, Frontier. If this is how you’re trying to survive in this economy, be careful—look at Spirit.

We rented a car and proceeded to make the 4 hr drive however the hotel voucher had not been received yet.

    It takes them 4-6 hours to get it approved and sent to us, by the time we received the confirmation it was past midnight. We are not from FL and were stuck out in the middle of nowhere, so we had no choice but to pay for our own room for safety reasons. Then we found out the flight was not 5am, but 4:30pm next day. We missed out on our PR hotel we already booked and paid for, our itinerary events for Sunday and Monday, and spent extra money just to fix what Frontier couldn't....

    When my partner and I went to board our flight MSP to DEN departing at 10:15 am, on June 26th we were informed that we did not have seats. They put us in line to the ticket agent who informed us that they had downsized the plane and 20 people would be denied boarding. They handed us a card that had a QR code that simply linked to their refund info page. They also handed us a sheet titled “Notice to Passengers if Denied Boarding”. This described the DOT 14 CFR 250 rule which says “If the carrier does not offer alternate transportation that is planned to arrive at the airport of the passenger’s destination or first stopover less than two hours after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight — over 2 hours arrival delay: 400% of one-way fare (not to exceed $2,150)." After handing us these two items, the ticket agent said he could get us on a flight leaving after 10pm that evening.

    Seeing that we would be compensated 400% of the ticket price as that was an almost 12-hour delay, as per the notice sheet they provided us, we declined that booking and opted to find another airline flying into Denver that day. The ticket agent told us we would receive an email from Frontier within the next 24 hrs about how to process that refund. We still have not received that email as of writing this on the 30th, four days later. We booked Southwest flight leaving at 1:20 pm. Later that evening, already in Denver, around 9pm, my partner received a notification that her flight to Denver would be boarding soon from MSP. We did not request to book this flight.

    Concerned, she called customer service and spent about 45 minutes trying to explain the situation and cancel that flight that she never booked. Finally, she was able to get them to cancel the 10pm flight, and they told her she would be refunded. Then, when she tried to do the same for my flight, they told us that I was marked as a no-show at the airport. I explained that was impossible, as I learned I was denied boarding from the agent at the gate who scanned my boarding pass. At the gate. In person.

    They said I needed to call the Denver airport and get whoever marked me as a no-show to remove that from my status before they could process my refund. When I first called the number they gave me, it was Frontier ticketing service, but as I moved through the automated menu as directed, I ended up with a message saying I was eligible for a medical alert device (I’m 44) and then it hung up on me. The next time I called it went right to the medical alert message and again hung up on me. The last time I called the number simply stopped working.

    Later that evening I tried the Frontier customer service line again and finally reaching a supervisor after negotiations with the initial representative, I explained the situation (this time there was no mention from them of my being a no-show, so have no idea what that was about). When he learned I had the notice to passengers form (14 CFR 250), he told me he’d process my $166.98 refund for the ticket, and send me a $250 voucher, but for the additional refund, I would need to share that notice via the refund form on their customer service page. That form did not work (and still doesn’t as of the writing of this).

    The next day when I called customer service to tell them their refund form wasn’t working, this person told me I was ineligible for the 400% refund because I had accepted a $250 voucher. Their supervisor told me the same thing. I explained I had not asked for that voucher and that I didn’t want it, and that the only reason we opted for a more expensive ticket was because we had been told by Frontier we would receive a 400% refund as per 14 CFR 250. They can have the voucher back, I never want to fly with Frontier again anyway.

    They insisted there was nothing they could do. As of this point, we have no means of restitution. At every turn throughout this, they gaslit us, lied (about my being a no-show, about my “accepting” a voucher), insisted there were things they couldn’t do until we kept pushing (even for simply the initial refund). The numbers and websites they gave us did not work, and in the end denied us the refund that the DOT requires they provide.

    Even with taking an earlier flight, our day in Denver was basically shot so we each effectively lost a day of PTO, 1/4th of our short 4-day trip, hours on the phone, $287 each which we spent on the Southwest ticket, the additional $500 each we should have received for the delay compensation, and just the general frustration and disrespect we experienced at every turn.

    We of course would like to be fairly compensated for our time and frustration, but more so want to make sure that Frontier and other airlines don’t continue to treat people like this. There was an older couple there denied boarding and seemed to not really know what to do next. There was a young woman crying—who knows what it was she was trying to get to. Especially with a budget airline like Frontier, there are likely people for whom this happens all the time but don’t have the means, time, or wherewithal to be able to fight back against the Kafkaesque denials and gaslighting of the airline. I assume Frontier just thinks people will give up, and so they have no problem doing things like overbooking 20 passengers who they assume will just eat that loss while they get that profit without having to pay the compensation that those people deserve.

    I submitted a complaint to the Department of Transportation, and I hope the DOT will investigate Frontier, find the additional passengers who were bumped from that flight and hear about their experiences, and find out how often things like this unfold, and hold the airline accountable. I know it’s very privileged to be complaining about a bad experience flying, but this is the future of our society as corporations are held less and less accountable, they’ll be able to take your money and there will be nothing you can do about it.

    I am writing to formally complain about my recent travel experience involving Frontier Flight 3738 from Orange County (SNA) to Phoenix, which resulted in a missed connection and substantial out-of-pocket expenses. Flight 3738 was delayed by approximately two hours, causing my party to miss our connecting flight to Miami. We had important commitments that required us to arrive in Miami before 8:00 a.m. Unfortunately, Frontier was unable to provide a reasonable alternative that would get us to our destination on time. The only option presented by Frontier would not have arrived until approximately 1:00 p.m., making it completely unusable given our obligations.

    Faced with no viable solution from Frontier, we were forced to arrange our own transportation at significant expense. In order to reach South Florida in time, we traveled to Dallas and purchased last-minute tickets on JetBlue. Specifically, I incurred a cost of $704.80 for JetBlue Flight #2282 from Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL).

    While the delay itself was frustrating, what was even more disappointing was the level of customer service. Every Frontier employee we encountered directed us to scan a QR code and contact customer support ourselves. No one appeared interested in helping stranded passengers or finding practical solutions. The staff's lack of professionalism, empathy, and accountability turned an already stressful travel disruption into an exceptionally poor customer experience. I travel frequently and understand that delays can occur. However, what I cannot accept is an airline failing to assist passengers after those delays occur. Frontier's response left us with no choice but to spend hundreds of dollars out of pocket to reach our destination.

    Don't fly Frontier. Worthless trash airline. Issues with planes all the time, they train their crew to kick people out of the planes instead of providing customer service. My girlfriend and I got kicked out of a flight from Atlanta to Miami for trying to put our backpacks on the upper compartments where there was plenty of space and we were the last passengers to board the plane and other passengers were putting theirs as well. This ** flight attendant jump towards me with a naughty attitude and accent. No wonder why they have a war in their country. They have the communist mentality and want to bring that to America. But it sucks that the department of transportation as well the FAA give green light to all this people to do whatever they want with passengers. No rights!

    They sell you a service but don't provide it. Be careful who we elect as politicians to represent us and protect our rights. They are not doing shit as federal, state and local level. Airlines, and other big companies are doing whatever they want with people thanks to the incompetent actions of the officials we elect to represent us in all government level!

    I wish l can write this review with no star, I had an extremely disappointing experience with Frontier Airlines and will never fly with them again. The airline changed the boarding gate at the last minute, had to take a transit train walk for almost 3 miles got to next gate only to be told l cannot board the flight, my flight was scheduled for 6 am, they move the time backwards, which caused me to miss my flight. Instead of taking responsibility for the confusion, they charged me even more money to book me on a connecting flight.

    Customer service was unhelpful and showed very little concern for the inconvenience they caused. On top of that, they charge customers for almost everything. Carry-on bag $75, There is even a fee if you need assistance checking in your bag, which is ridiculous. Nothing is included on the flight—not even water. A bottle of water costs over $4, and every snack comes with an additional charge. Between the poor communication, lack of customer support, and endless extra fees, this was one of the worst airline experiences I've had. I would not recommend Frontier Airlines to anyone looking for reliable service or good value. I'll gladly pay more to fly with another airline in the future.

    If you enjoy being penalized for technical glitches, treated like an inconvenience by staff, and flat-out dared to complain, then Frontier Airlines is the carrier for you. For everyone else: save your sanity and book literally anyone else. ​Our nightmare started before we even got to the airport. Frontier’s glitchy app defaulted our booking to the completely wrong departure. When we tried to fix this obvious system error, Frontier hit us with a jaw-dropping $200 change fee to correct their mistake. ​Thinking sanity would prevail at the airport, we tried talking to the staff. Big mistake. The gate attendants weren’t just unhelpful—they were actively rude, aggressively angry, and treated paying customers like cattle.

    ​When we finally got a hold of customer service to demand accountability for the app error and the staff's behavior, they essentially laughed it off. The representative refused to take a shred of responsibility. In fact, their exact words when we said we were unhappy were: "Feel free to post negative reviews." ​Well, Frontier, wish granted. ​They know their service is bottom-tier, and they genuinely do not care because they already have your money. Never again.

    Our flight from Baltimore to Atlanta was delayed twice, causing us to miss our connecting flight to Cancun. Frontier’s only solution was to put us on a flight that wouldn’t get us to Cancun until the next day after a 15-hour journey, forcing us to cancel our plans. To make matters worse, they had also canceled our return flight.

    There was absolutely no care, concern, or empathy for their passengers or the value of our time. The staff were incredibly rude, and the entire experience was frustrating and disappointing. Because we had to book with another airline at the last minute, this trip has now cost us nearly $2,000 more than what we originally paid. This level of customer service is unacceptable.

    I had an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience with a Frontier Airlines employee named Prince while checking in for Flight F9 1483 from Chicago O’Hare (ORD) to Denver (DEN), scheduled to depart at 9:57 PM. Prince provided some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Instead of listening to my concerns or trying to help, he spent much of the interaction looking at his phone and showed no interest in resolving the issue. When I asked why my seat had been changed, he simply said, “The flight is full,” and acted as if there was nothing he could do.

    I paid extra to reserve Seat 11E, but Frontier changed my seat to 24C without any explanation or notification. Because of this unexpected change, my family and I were separated and had to sit far away from each other during the flight. Customers who pay for seat selections deserve better communication and support when changes happen.

    The most shocking part of this experience was when Prince asked me if I still wanted to take the flight, implying that if I was not satisfied, I could go to the kiosk and change my ticket. Telling a customer to change flights or delay their trip because of an airline seat issue is completely unacceptable. This could have caused my family to miss our plans and potentially delay our entire trip until the next day. When I asked for his name so I could file a complaint, he refused to spell it for me, making it more difficult to properly identify the employee responsible for this interaction.

    His attitude was dismissive, unprofessional, and showed no willingness to help a paying customer. A simple explanation, apology, or effort to find a solution would have made a huge difference, but instead I was treated as if my concerns did not matter. I am providing the flight details—Flight F9 1483 from ORD to DEN, departing at 9:57 PM—so Frontier Airlines can identify the employee working that shift and review this incident. I strongly request that Frontier investigate this matter and provide additional customer service training to prevent other passengers from experiencing the same treatment.

    Wow… just wow. I booked a flight from San Diego to Minneapolis with Frontier. I arrived at the airport 1 hour and 10 minutes before departure, but there wasn’t a single Frontier representative at the ticket counter. As an active member of the military, I need a representative present to complete the check-in process. When I called Frontier’s customer service line, I was told I was “late.” This was my first time flying Frontier, and I found that explanation completely unreasonable. I asked them to simply rebook me on another flight, but they immediately tried to charge me an additional $120. After waiting about five minutes to speak with a supervisor, the exact same representative came back on the line and suddenly said, “I’m just going to waive the fee for you.”

    If the fee could be waived that easily, why was I told I had to pay it in the first place? The entire experience felt unorganized and misleading. I’ve flown with many airlines over the years and have never experienced customer service like this.

    I had a very disappointing experience with the Frontier Airlines staff at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul (MSP) Airport. I arrived at the Frontier counter around 2:00 PM to purchase a ticket. The employee told me to return after 3:59 PM because they would help me book it then. Trusting their instructions, I waited at the airport for nearly two hours. When I returned at the exact time they had given me, a different employee told me that Frontier does not sell tickets at the airport counter. This completely contradicted what I had been told earlier. As a result, I wasted two hours of my time for nothing.

    What made the experience even worse was the staff's attitude. They were rude, dismissive, and showed no concern for the inconvenience they had caused. There was no apology or attempt to help. It felt like they simply did not care about their customers' time or experience. If the staff had provided accurate information from the beginning, I could have booked my ticket online immediately instead of waiting for hours at the airport.

    We were planning a trip to Phoenix and as I looked at fares Frontier appeared to be the cheapest. I wasn't aware of the exorbitant fees they charge for luggage. Every airline I've ever flown allows checked baggage up to 50 pounds. Frontier's limit is 40. I weighed out the bag before leaving and actually moved some to my personal backpack to get under 50 lbs. Their scale said 52, which was over the 40 lbs anyway. So we were charged $158 for the checked bag. OK, my bad for not checking. The real concern came on our flight home. We were short on time to check in and went to the desk. My bag this time was 62 because I knew we were going to be over the 40 lbs and the website said over fees up to 100 lbs were $129 plus tax, so I anticipated $150 plus some as before. But we were charged a service fee for using the desk, $154 for the overweight bag and another $79 for a checked bag. That totaled out to $247.

    After arriving home I called them and was told that the Phoenix prices were correct and I had not been charged those fees on departure for some reason. I was also told they couldn't provide a breakdown of the fees for me. This trip ended up costing about double what we had planned. Luckily we didn't had a carry on or we'd have paid another $53 for that. I will never use Frontier again!!!

Unfortunately, prior to boarding they had changed planes and my seat (row 19) was now in the "standard seat" section. The exit row was now in row 13. The flight attendant was very nice and apologetic regarding the issue and gave me a card to get a refund. When I called customer service they said they did not get information of a plane swap and basically called me a liar. If you ever have that happen I suggest getting something in writing from the crew before leaving the aircraft. I lost the extra money I spent for those seats, and told them they lost a customer.

    Worst airline ever! They let you think you're getting a cheap or reasonable fare, then charge you for every little thing. 79.00 for your first checked bag, same for carry on. Charge you 25 to go to an agent to check your bag. Free to check it yourself. Horrible experience! We'll never fly with them again and I'll be sure to share with others!

    Had to cancel my flight and did it within their regulations of 24 hours for a refund. Still took the money out of my account and when I spoke with a representative she told me there usually is an option for refund to card or credit for future flights. I was not given an option!!!! And when I started, since I was not told of the options on refund can't I get a refund to my card and she said no. Once it's processed for credit, they can't undo it. Even though I never gave permission to anyone for credit. I was never told of the options. What's worse is they won't even try to fix it. Never booking with them again, and I would never recommend them. Customer service is dead in America anymore.

    I recently travelled business class with Frontier Airlines. I was appalled, that with huge price difference, there were still no complimentary snacks. Also, the flight attendants were not personable at all. They chatted among themselves most of the trip. It seemed more like they were herding cattle than assisting passengers. I could have overlooked that, but they lost my expensive all terrain walker. I gate checked the walker in Orlando and told the gate agent that I needed it during my layover in Denver. It was not at the gate in Denver, and I was told it would be at the gate in Boise. I used a wheelchair in Denver, which prevented me from being able to exercise my legs there.

    When I arrived in Boise the walker was not at the gate. I was told it would at baggage claim. So, I had another wheelchair trip to baggage claim, but my walker was not there either. Less than 1 hour after the flight landed, there was mo one from Frontier to assist me, and I was told there would be no one available until the following Thursday when they had another flight coming in. Finally airport employees were able to get me in touch with someone by phone. This lady, Cindy, had Global Repair contact me, and they were able to provide me a loaner walker that evening. I was there for my granddaughters graduation from law school. I missed her party because of the delay and suffered a fall before they were able to get a walker to me.

    My walker was located in Denver the same day, but Frontier made no attempt to get it to me. Apparently, they sent it to Boise on the Thursday flight. I had already left Boise by then, and they were aware of that. I was told that they would be shipping it to me and they would send me tracking numbers, but that never happened. I was unable to reach the person I had been talking with. I left several voice messages as did Global Repair with no response. The following Friday (12 days after my flight) my walker was delivered to my home in terrible condition.

    The bag was missing, and the post to hold the bag was broken off and missing. There was a chunk missing from the hand grip, and the walker was scratched all over (looked like it was dragged on pavement) and labels were peeled up like it had been stored in wet conditions. It was not packaged for transport but folded with zip ties to hold it closed. Seeing how poorly they treat a passenger's medical device makes me wonder how well they take care of their own equipment. This was definitely my first and last trip on Frontier Airlines. I gave them a 1 star review because 0 was not an available option

    Frontier Airlines demonstrates a lack of regard for customer satisfaction and attempts to deceive customers by offering unsatisfactory refunds, hoping they will not notice. Therefore, if this airline is a consideration for customers, they should be prepared for subpar customer service, inadequate compensation, and even poor communication. Frontier Airlines falsely advertises compensation for canceled and delayed flights on its website. We were provided with a voucher valid for 90 days, not 5 years, as stated on their advertisement. The customer service team is incompetent and fails to assist customers when flights are canceled or delayed.

    This is my third and final experience with Frontier Airlines due to canceled and delayed flights and hours of frustration on the phone with their “customer service professionals,” who are essentially quick-talking swindlers. Frontier Airlines oversells seating and price gouges with hidden fees and has even damaged my luggage on one occasion, with no intention of making it right. The most recent experience was a short-notice cancellation on their end, resulting in significant monetary loss for me and my family in the thousands of dollars. A cost-friendly vacation turned into a nightmare, causing considerable financial loss. Families plan trips and also anticipate potential flight delays. However, cancellations are a major inconvenience for working passengers and families or large groups and they show no regard of making it right for their customers.

    We were traveling from Chicago to Atlanta on what should have been a two-hour flight, but the trip ended up taking nearly seven hours. The experience was extremely frustrating from start to finish. First, our departure was delayed because a broken seat had to be repaired before we could take off. After that issue was resolved, we waited in line for departure and were then informed that our flight had been rerouted. Shortly afterward, the pilot announced that the aircraft did not have enough fuel for the new route, so we had to return to be refueled, causing yet another significant delay.

    What made the situation even more disappointing was that throughout these extended delays, no complimentary drinks or snacks were offered to passengers. Given the length of the delay and the series of operational issues, I believe passengers should have received better communication and customer service. In addition to the inconvenience, the unexpected delay caused me to incur extra parking charges when picking up my vehicle, resulting in additional out-of-pocket expenses that I would not have otherwise had to pay. I would appreciate a response regarding this experience and any compensation or accommodation the airline may be willing to provide.

    My experience with Frontier Airlines was extremely frustrating from start to finish. First, Frontier separated my wife and me during seat assignment. While that issue was eventually corrected, the process was unnecessarily stressful. During check-in, the app repeatedly rejected my baggage request, even though I only needed a carry-on bag, my child's car seat, and one checked bag. We spent nearly two hours trying to get everything sorted out, and by the time it was resolved, we had only 58 minutes left before our flight.

    The problems didn't end there. When we arrived at our final destination, Frontier had lost my child's car seat. When I called customer support, I was told that I had signed a waiver and that Frontier could not help me. Instead, I was told to speak with TSA. There was nobody at the Frontier service desk, and I was informed that Frontier did not have a baggage service representative available.

    Thankfully, TSA helped locate a Frontier employee. After a lengthy and frustrating discussion, the employee eventually found our car seat and informed us that it had been left at a different gate. Traveling with a child is stressful enough without having to worry about seating issues, baggage problems, and missing essential items like a car seat. Based on this experience, Frontier's customer service, baggage handling, and communication fell far below my expectations. Never fly Frontier or accept anything from them.

Then we sit in our seats and everyone is asking to switch with their families. One couple switched from 16 to 34. Another whole family chose to get off the plane because the staff was so rude.

You cannot cancel prior to 7 days in advance, otherwise you are charged cancelation fees. I booked 3 days prior and was charged early booking fees. I look for flights 24 hours prior and the same fees apply. The supervisor said I couldn't cancel GoWild and get a refund because I booked a trip while having the GoWild although, I didn't reap the benefits because I was charged early booking fees.

    We never imagined that my family's vacation would begin with being removed from a Frontier Airlines flight because my husband has a disability. My husband relies on an FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrator to travel safely. Rather than treating him with dignity and working to accommodate his medical needs, they refused to allow his FAA concentrator on board and refused to accept his doctor's documentation. Frontier staff handled the situation in a way that left us feeling singled out, embarrassed, and discriminated against.

    Because we could not leave my husband behind, our entire family of six was forced to deplane. We were left shocked, humiliated, and scrambling to figure out how to ensure we could get our destination. Passengers with disabilities should not be made to feel like a burden for needing medically necessary equipment. Families should not have their travel plans destroyed because an airline fails to appropriately address disability accommodations.

    We are sharing this experience because no passenger should have to worry that using life-sustaining medical equipment will result in being removed from a flight. Frontier needs to do better in training its staff on disability rights, accessibility, and customer care. Frontier did not adequately address the issue when spoken to. I just hope Frontier executives review what happened and ensure that no other family experiences what ours did.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience with Frontier Airlines on May 6th was beyond frustrating and disappointing. We originally booked a direct flight from Newark to Chicago. Just one day before departure, Frontier completely changed our itinerary and added a stop in Atlanta with only a 40-minute layover. This unexpectedly changed our entire schedule and caused major issues with reservations we had already made in Chicago. The worst part happened in Atlanta. After landing, we specifically asked both the help desk staff and gate agents where we needed to go for our connecting flight. Anyone familiar with ATL airport knows how massive it is, with terminals T, A, B, C, D, E, and F connected by trains and long walking distances. We were told to go from Terminal T to Gate E, which took a significant amount of time and required rushing through the airport.

    When we finally arrived, we discovered that the gate we were sent to was actually for a flight to Dallas. Our actual flight was still at Terminal T. By the time we made it back, we had missed our flight entirely because of the incorrect directions given by Frontier and airport staff. Instead of helping us, the staff were rude, dismissive, and blamed us for following the information on the printed boarding pass. We were told we should have checked the digital boarding pass instead. No empathy. No accountability. No attempt to assist a family traveling with a one-year-old child and a 68-year-old mother who physically cannot run through an airport.

    We were then rebooked onto a flight leaving at 9 PM, meaning we were stranded in Atlanta from 11 AM until late evening. Because of this delay, we missed important reservations in Chicago and lost money with no compensation or concern from anyone. To make matters worse, the 9 PM flight was delayed again because the plane needed a tire replacement. We were supposed to arrive in Chicago around 10 PM, but we did not even take off until after midnight. At every stage of this experience, Frontier staff and even airport personnel were completely unhelpful and indifferent. The only positive thing I can say about Frontier is that the seats had slightly more legroom than expected. Other than that, the customer service was terrible, communication was poor, and the overall experience was exhausting and stressful.

    What made this even more obvious was our return trip with United Airlines. The difference in professionalism and overall experience was night and day. United departed on time, the flight was smooth, we were provided drinks and snacks, there were entertainment screens available, and we actually arrived 45 minutes early. The staff were organized, helpful, and the entire process felt reliable and stress-free — everything Frontier failed to provide. If you are considering flying Frontier, especially with children or elderly family members, I strongly encourage you to reconsider your options. We would have been far better off flying with another airline like United. Nobody cared, nobody helped, and nobody took responsibility for the situation.

    I was disappointed with my recent experience with Frontier Airlines. I canceled a trip well in advance due to serious safety concerns during a period of escalating international conflict. While I understand the flight itself was not canceled, I hoped the airline would show some flexibility or goodwill given the circumstances. Instead, I was only issued a travel credit that is difficult to use efficiently because Frontier’s bundle pricing makes rebooking with the credit significantly more expensive than purchasing a new bundled fare outright. I requested assistance or an alternative voucher option but was not offered any flexibility. I understand policies exist, but better customer service and more reasonable solutions in situations like this would go a long way toward customer trust and loyalty.

Now I have to let them in my business about what’s in my bag for the reason why I need the bag to be delivered to immediately. Now the bag won’t be to me until 9-10:00 PM. I asked for a refund. They told me no that is impossible and they cannot reimburse for me for the inconvenience.

    I spent almost $350 for the flight and for my luggage just for them to not have my luggage on the flight and me have to go to the hospital becauseI don’t have my medication plus I had to put my account in the negative because the card that I was using was inside of the luggage and I had to pay $78 to get home.

    Anyone considering using Frontier as their airline should understand that the company's "customer service" is not a service; it is a dead end loop. Air travel and booking can be complicated by a number of things including the online booking process. Frontier would not apply a flight voucher from a recent cancellation to a new trip when the voucher wasn't entered at the booking time. A simple mistake that I attempted to correct immediately with customer service, but was given no consideration and told that no one at Frontier can make amendments to their booking system, resulting in additional cost to me.

    Courteous customer service representatives who are put in a position of receiving customer ire because of corporate policy that runs 100% counter to customer service. I have not yet stepped foot on a Frontier plane as my trip is upcoming, but I will never fly this airline again, and that should be a testament to how badly this airline treats the people in its care and its employees.

    I will never book with Frontier again! Booked flights round-trip from San Francisco to Orlando nonstop, paid for premium seats. Three weeks after I booked, we got a notice that they were adding a stop at LAX on our return trip, which included a 55-minute layover. We almost canceled at that point due to the fact that we are traveling with an autistic child and nonstop is the best option so you don’t have as many layovers and disruptions. But we decided to just stay with them. Then, three weeks after that we get another notice that now they are adding a stop in Phoenix on our way to Orlando with a 3 1/2 hour layover. In addition to that, they again changed our return flight that included a layover at LAX to a 3 1/2 hour layover instead of a 55-minute layover.

    This was absolutely unacceptable! Canceled our flights, got a full refund, at least they did the refund quickly. I’m thinking that since when we originally booked back in March, gasoline was much cheaper, and now prices have gone up quite a bit. So now they’re disadvantaging people who have flights with the lower fares in hopes they cancel so they can resell those seats at higher prices to cover their increase in gas. We switched to another airline, got nonstop flights, and paid less. We are done with Frontier, never again!

    I understand that when you book a cheap flight, you shouldn’t expect luxury — that’s fair. But there’s a difference between basic service and feeling constantly nickel-and-dimed. This was my first time flying with them, and I wasn’t familiar with the check-in process, so I ended up paying an extra $25. Fine, lesson learned. But then after boarding, there was no space left for my personal item, and I was told I’d have to check it in and pay AGAIN. Seriously? What’s next — charging to use the toilet?

    To make things worse, I was squeezed between two oversized passengers, while empty emergency row seats were available. I politely asked if I could move, and the response was basically: “Sure, pay $50.” No flexibility, no empathy — just another upsell. It honestly felt like passengers were being treated like cattle, packed in and charged for every little thing.

    Yes, Frontier may advertise a $120 flight while Southwest is $250 and American or United are $400+, but those “cheap” fares can quickly become misleading once all the extra charges pile up. It feels less like affordable travel and more like bait-and-switch pricing. If you’re going to market yourself as a budget airline, be upfront — not deceptive. Cheap fares shouldn’t mean making customers feel tricked.

    Worst airline company I’ve ever flown with. Spend the extra couple hundred to fly with someone else. Your bags will get lost and you’ll wait hours. You’ll sit and wait for your plane to depart and wait an average of an hour. You're better off using a piece of drywall to get answers from employees. Things are taking longer than expected. Have to talk to higher end airport management to get answers.

    This was our first time flying with them! This was the worst experience ever! They charged us $200 for a small carry on! One bag fit in the overhead storage and the other under the seat. We will never fly with them again. Everyone was complaining about how they they were treated. I see why they are at the bottom of the chain. Such a ripoff! On top of that, the Denver location was nasty in A56!

    I initially booked with Southwest, received pending flight email never seen before - called 800 #. Somehow they ended up booking me with Frontier without warning - I tried canceling the booking in total because clearly it was a reliable booking. They refuse to refund me, charged me $99.00 for cancelation. Now I have flight credit of balance. Never wanted to fly with them to begin with.

    I was flying back home, and in the process of delays and trying to contact my job, I missed the flight. I got help from Linda H. Who was working the rebook counter. The first time I dealt with her, my flip flop sandals broke and she helped me repair them quickly. The second time she assisted me, was after I missed my flight, she was able to rebook me for a reasonable price and help calm me down. I hope this gets back to her, she helped me so much.

    My family and I just returned from a trip flying from Fort Lauderdale into Houston on Frontier Airlines. This has to be one of, of not the worst, flying experiences we've had. As with all companies, there are a few employees that likely do not get the thanks and kudos they deserve, but far more often there are those who don't care about their jobs and that shows itself in the experience they provide. Leaving Fort Lauderdale, my nieces' stroller was misplaced, causing us to be stuck with a 2 and 4 year old at the airport for an extra hour and a half. Returning to Fort Lauderdale, my minor son was originally seated by himself, but I asked for us all to be seated together and that request was kindly granted. Also, my niece left her bag at TSA and some lovely gate agents helped us get it back.

    These 2 experiences are greatly appreciated, but the rest of the chaos sadly overshadowed them. My nieces' double stroller was broken between leaving it was the gate agents and landing in Fort Lauderdale. Can you imagine trying to get through the airport with a tired 2 and 4 year old? We advised Frontier of the incident and were dismissed and advised to report a claim. She did, and the claim was denied because she didn't have a hard stroller case? I'm sorry, this is unacceptable. The ticket prices may be cheap but you definitely seem to get what you pay for, and you end up paying the savings in replacing your items.

    My husband and I flew from New Orleans to Cleveland with layover in Dallas on the way up there and layover in Atlanta on way back. So that is 4 flights which were all delayed. The original price of tickets were very affordable but they get you with extra costs. Usually when you buy tickets together you are basically seated together, well not on Frontier, extra charges to change seats to be able to sit together. Got on plane in New Orleans with my carry on , no problem, get to Dallas, they insisted to charge me another $99. I didn't understand why one Frontier my bag was good and the next Frontier they hassled me to pay. Needless to say I will NEVER fly with them again. With all this extra charges, we could have paid a direct flight with someone else. The only reason we give 2 stars is because we eventually got to our destination.

    I recently had my flight cancelled by Frontier Airlines, resulting in me having to purchase a flight through United Airlines. My total out-of-pocket expenses exceeded $650.00 dollars and some major inconvenience apart from the loss of money. Below is Frontier's response after I filed a complaint with DOT: Upon reviewing your booking, we see that you cancelled your flight from DEN – SFO since no alternative flight was available. As a result, a refund of $47.91 was issued to your American Express card ending in 2005 on April 20, 2026.

    Refunds generally take up to seven business days to be completed. However, it may take a few additional days depending on your bank’s processing time. Reimbursement for out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred as a result of flight cancellations. This includes costs such as hotel accommodations, bookings with other airlines, and meals. This policy applies regardless of the reason for the cancellation and is consistently upheld in all cases. As a gesture of goodwill and in recognition of the inconvenience you experienced, we are pleased to issue a $50.00 Frontier travel voucher. This voucher is valid through April 22, 2027, and may be applied toward a future Frontier flight.

    My experience with Frontier Airlines has been beyond frustrating. Their booking system is completely broken, especially when flights are tied to Volaris. I booked a flight expecting a smooth process, but instead ran into nonstop issues trying to manage my reservation. When I reached out to Frontier for help, they told me I had to contact Volaris because they “operate the flight.” So I went to Volaris—and they immediately sent me back to Frontier because the booking was made through them. It turns into an endless loop where both companies push responsibility onto each other, and no one actually helps you.

    Their system doesn’t allow you to properly make changes, request refunds, or even get clear answers. It feels completely disorganized and poorly integrated. On top of that, just like Volaris, it’s nearly impossible to speak with a real person. You’re stuck dealing with automated systems that don’t solve anything. At the end of the day, you’re left without answers, without support, and at risk of losing your money simply because their systems don’t work together. Terrible experience. I would not recommend booking with Frontier, especially if there’s any involvement with Volaris.

    Am writing to formally express my deep dissatisfaction with the unprofessional conduct displayed by your staff at the Atlanta, GA airport around 8:00 AM today. This incident involved my mother, and I was present the entire time. One of your employees interacted with her in a very unfriendly manner, maintaining a dismissive attitude and an unwelcoming demeanor throughout the encounter. What was even more concerning was the behavior of the supervisor on duty, Bree. Instead of addressing the situation with professionalism, she was seen laughing and giggling at comments made by another employee about my mother. This behavior was not only disrespectful but completely unacceptable in a customer service environment.

    As a paying customer, my mother deserved to be treated with courtesy and respect. Witnessing staff mock a customer rather than assist them reflects poorly on your company’s values and standards. Due to this experience, my family has lost trust in Frontier Airlines. We will not be flying with your airline again, and we will also be sharing this experience with friends and others to caution them. I expect that this matter will be taken seriously and addressed appropriately. I would appreciate a response outlining any actions taken regarding this incident.

    Sincerely,

    I will NEVER use Frontier Airlines again. My 16 year old and his dad have been sick in airports since 4 am this morning for a 6 am flight. 2 canceled flights later, the best they can do is move them to a 10 pm flight to another airport to sit and wait to catch another one at 6 am tomorrow to the airport they were originally supposed to land at 6 am this morning. No hotel, no compensation, nothing. They are garbage.

    I had to cancel our flight the day before our trip because, both my son and I got the flu. I was told that I would have to pay a cancelation fee which is understandable. The balance was supposed to be refunded to my credit card of $507. Instead of doing the right thing and refunding my credit card, they gave me a airline credit. Total BS, I only fly about once every 8 years or so. So they basically screwed me out of $507.00. I have never flown with Frontier and I never will.

    I have given Frontier several chances over the years, and I want to be honest: my experiences have been consistently disappointing. The biggest issue has been customer service. On multiple occasions, staff have come across as rude, dismissive, invasive, and disrespectful. Instead of helping customers, it often felt like people were being brushed off, spoken to harshly, or treated as if they were a problem. I have also witnessed staff talking about customers in front of other customers in an obnoxious and unprofessional way. That kind of treatment is unacceptable. The second major issue has been reliability. Over the years, I have dealt with repeated delays, cancellations, and even disruptions lasting a full day or more, without any accommodations made to the customer.

    Most recently, on my flight yesterday from Phoenix to Salt Lake City, we were left sitting after landing for almost an hour before getting off the plane. That delay affected my plans and arrangements afterward. What is especially frustrating is the overall feeling that Frontier does not stand up for its customers or prioritize their experience. If these kinds of delays and airport hold-ups are predictable, then better solutions should be in place. Customers should not just be left waiting without meaningful help or accommodation.

    What makes this even harder to accept is that this ticket was not especially cheap. Because I booked on short notice, I paid about what I could have paid for another airline like American or Delta. I chose Frontier because the flight time was more convenient, but experiences like this make me seriously reconsider flying with Frontier again.

    At this point, my frustration is about more than one flight. It is the overall pattern: poor customer treatment, constant unpredictability, delays, cancellations, lack of comfort, not complimentary service, not even a chargeer ports on you aircrafts! Moreover, the feeling that customers are being squeezed for every extra dollar while receiving very little in return. Even among other low cost airlines, this stands out negatively. I have flown multiple low-cost airlines in Europe and still did not experience this level of disregard for customers. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed. Unless Frontier makes serious changes in how it treats customers and improves the overall reliability and travel experience, I do not see a reason to keep choosing your airline.

    Poor customers. Not looking out for the customer's best interest. I was not happy that I couldn't get the help I needed. Two of your staff steered me wrong, and I had to sit in the airport for 8 hrs. Not acceptable. I will not recommend Frontier to anyone. All they announced was the door was closing. I was supposed to be on flight 2393. Didn't announce it was the Denver flight.

    The seat on Frontier are extremely uncomfortable, I could not stop moving, because I couldn’t get comfortable. Luckily it was just an 2 hour flight, but I couldn’t imagine a longer trip. Lastly, they were on delay for my flight, but told us to stay seat till people with layovers were occurring, but our flight got in two hours later then expected and told us to stay seated till just about majority of the plane got to get off because they were layovers. But respectfully, no other airline does that when a flight is delayed from experience from other airlines.

    Also Frontier is so strict about the damn personal bag and check in bags, if your bag is just 2 pounds overweight a charge, if you need to check in a bag during boarding a lot of extra money. And they will force you to pay for a bag if it doesn’t fit perfect, more money. So overall, I will not be flying Frontier and saving my money to go to Delta. They don’t even give you any complimentary snacks or drinks like another airline that I know. Also, don’t check a bag because you will have to wait 30 minutes just to get it off the plane!
